Hi,
I was wondering if anyone elses child has had the kidney operation where they re-implant the ureters (that is the tubes that join the kidneys and bladder). Next week James (age 7 1/2 months) will have the stents removed that he had inserted at 2 1/2 months old to assist with drainage. After that they will be doing more tests to see if he needs this operation, I'm not sure if it will be one or both kidneys as he has hydronephrosis (fluid in the kidneys) in both, although it is only severe in the right kidney now, the left kidney has improved (thank god!).

James' ureters are also very large, so they will also have to be tapered in the operation.

Anyway if your child has gone through this operation I would like to hear how it went as I understand this is quite a common operation with a good success rate. But please not too many horror stories.

Thanks
Corr
